Crispy Oven-Baked Potato Slices

🔪 Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Set to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the potatoes:
    • Wash and scrub the potatoes well.
    • Slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds — not too thin, not too thick. Try to keep them uniform so they bake evenly.
  3. Season the slices:
    • Place the slices in a large bowl.
    • Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and herbs. Toss well to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet:
    • Lay the slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet (avoid overlapping).
    • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using.
  5. Bake:
    • Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
    • Bake until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
    • Serve warm with your favorite dip — like sour cream, ranch, or garlic aioli.

💡 Tips for Perfect Crispiness

  • Soak the potato slices in cold water for 15 minutes before baking to remove excess starch (helps them crisp up).
  • Pat completely dry before adding oil and seasonings.
  • For extra crunch, turn on the broiler for the last 2–3 minutes — but keep a close eye so they don’t burn!
